Five conuniLtees of five members each have been orKranized and all of the 5 members have taken an obligation to employ three hours each day for 10 days, going in squads, to induce every man and woman In that section to be come members of the club, andthus not only boost for the development of that part of the city but to become bet ter acquainted with each other and stimulate the growth of social life.

The remarkable growth of the Rose City Park section of Portland since it was first placed on the market seven years ago is attrloutable to several causes, but back of it all has been the Rose City Park Improvement- League, an organization of progressive "first settlers" who put their shoulders to the wheel and for four years held semi monthly meetings without a break camping In the corridors of the City Hall and on the trail of the members of the City Council until they obtained electric lights, gas mains, sewer trunks and laterals, the widening of the Sandy boulevard to 80 feet, paving everywhere, and all the conveniences enjoyed by any other portion of the city. They also obtained the first fire proof schoolhouse erected by the city. Having secured practically all that was to be obtained from the city In the way of public improvements, the league retired from the field three years ago and was merged into the Rose City Park Club, which at once purchased a fine location and erected a large and beautiful clubhouse at the intersection of the Sandy boulevard and Fifty fourth street, where neighborhood en tertainments of a social nature are held almost every evening of the week. In addition to the commodious club room proper, with its old-fashioned fireplace at one end, and the auditorium upstairs, used for dancing and other forms of entertainments, a splendid bowling alley was provided last year and recently a billiard room, 20x40 feet, was finished. It is now one of the most complete clubhouses in the city and has become the social center of not only Rose City Park, but of Elmhurst. Rossmere, Beaumont, Gregory Heights and other adjacent sections. SONG CONTEST ENDS Ad Club Competition to Adver tise Berries Closes Today. VARIED OFFERINGS POUR IN I'ii'kt 1'rUe Is $125 in Cusli and Scvnl Is $7 5 Public Singing Festival to liu Held at Land Show Xijrlil of November 5. The rortliind Ad Club"s prizo contest for the best songs on loganberry Juice submitted by students of the public and private schools and colleges of the Mute ends today. However, songs re ceived tomorrow bearing a postmark of October 31 or earlier will be eligible to the contest. The songs have been fairly pouring in on George E. Waggoner, chairman of the Ad Club song contest committee, during the past week. They have come in every possible meter and evevy known tune, and some remarkably Kood ones have been submitted. Here is a sample stanza from one poem sub mitted by a J 6-year-old high school girl: Oh. everybody's using: It. Krom Portland to Nw York, And when they driuk the bottle dry They stop to lick the corfc. It's tlie mime oltl triad Decision Of which the poets suns:, lVhen every fellow took h drink And then licked off the buns. One song has been submitted from Vancouver, Wash. As the contest is eonfined to Oregon students, the com mittee has reluctantly been obliged to rule that it is not eligible. The first prise in the contest is $125 in cash; the second prize is ?75 cash, and the third prise 50 cash. These prizes have carried such a poetic in spiration that many grownups, who are not going to school and therefore are not eligible, have also submitted ongs. On the night of November 5. the committee. which has been fairly wamped by the incoming volume of songs, will hold a publio singing fes tival at the Manufacturers' and Land Products Show, at which those ad judged the best will be tried out. Final awarding the prizes will be deferred until this contest. In the meantime, the judges will be weeding out all ex cept the 15 or 20 considered meritorious enough to be entered in this vocal try out. Any songs mailed today should be addressed to Oeorge E. Waggoner, chairman Ad Club song committee, Yeon building, Portland, Or. Since the song contost began re tailers have reported a marked in crease in the local consumption of loganberry juice. To popularize the beverage and give it not only state wide but National advertising has been the purpose of the contest. 1 rHOMlSET WOMAVS .

Tomorrow Zeppelins Said to Carry "Wireless by Which It la Able Send Blea sages, but Cannot Receive. a Another first-hand story of the Z ljelin air raids on England hae just been received in Portland by Roy Searle, 308 Stark street, from Dr. Thorn as A. Stoddard, a California physician. who recently returned from Europe. Dr. Stoddard was in England during one of the recent raids. He had been serving in the orthopedic hospital base for the British army at Liverpool. One of the interesting details is Dr. Stoddard's description of the wireleas communication between the airships and the land forces. He says the air craft carry wireless antenna hanging down, which serve in communicating with the wireless-carrying automo biles on land or ships on the water. The wireless from the Zeppelin can send messages, but is unable to receive them. Flashes, however, from the land or water forces are used for signals to the Zeppelins. Dr. Stoddard says that the war Is in a way promoting medical science In marvelous ways. The readjustment of bones, muscles and nerves has devel oped orthopedic science in surgery al most beyond comprehension of the lay man, he declares. "Miracles have been worked, almost, it seems." writes Dr. Stoddard. "Espe cially is this true in nerve-splicing." Dr. Stoddard briefly described how Pegaud. the famous French aviator, who single handed captured several German Zeppelins, eventually met death. He said that - Pegaud met his fate when the Germane constructed a Zeppelin, in the lower part of which rode a sharpshooter, protected by ar mored plate. When Pegaud flew under the Zeppelin and began his attack the Zeppelin sharpshooter picked him off as the Zeppelin soared into the clouds of smoke made from its own engines. These smoke clouds for a time were be lieved by the British to be natural clouds, but Dr. Stoddard explains that the Germans have discovered a chemi cal which creates great volumes of smoke, sufficient to conceal the Zep pelin when danger ti ears. iISi Manufacturers, Exhibitors and Elks' Day The Elks, with their famous band, will officiate as hosts to our visitors from Klamath Falls, Ashland, Medf ord and Grants Pass. They will head the big street parade and participate in the chief events on the special programme arranged for this night only. In addition to the prizes that are given free every night, the exhibi tors and manufacturers are giving some very special and valuable prizes for this occasion. ' An unusual programme of vaudeville, music and songs has been prepared to entertain the expected record-breaking crowd tomorrow at the Manufacturers' and Land Products Show SSSJ? T the Members of the Portland Chan, her of Commerce, Irs Krlentls and to the ttlsen of the Pacific Northwest. (KtUasi The unprecedented success of the Second Annual .Manufacturers' and Land Products Show has been made possible by your splendid co-operation. You have realized how vitally im portant is a proper presentation of the products of our fields and farms, our forests and streams and of our fac tories and stores. Realizing this, you have neglected your own individual interests to put your shoulder to the wheel for the com mon good. Our big ranchers, our most successful farmers, men at the head of big indus tries and corporations, artists and pub lications, together with their assistants and staffs, have neglected their own private interests to give cheerfully of their time and services, at my request, to make this the unqualified success it has proven. I wish that it were possible to grasp each one of you by the hand and to per sonally thank you from the bottom of my heart for this splendid co-operation. But this is physically impossible, because thousands have helped, and without your help the efforts of the men who have devoted weeks of hard work would have been without avail. Accept this message as my personal thanks to you. If you have not yet seen the exhibits, be sure to do so. It is your show, given for and by the people of this great empire of the Pa cific Northwest, for the purpose of bringing the producers and consumers closer together, to arrive at a better understanding, to provide more com forts at less cost, and I know that after this show has become history, these ob jects will have reached a greater and more comprehensive realization. Believe me, I thank you for your help and co-operation. President. The ladies are spending their afternoons here because of the opportunities offered to study the resources of our state as affecting the betterment of their homes on a more economical basis. - BABY SHOW, Thursday, Nov. 4th Entries received until Tuesday, Nov. 2nd, at special booths in Lipman, Wolf e & Co., and Meier & Frank, or by phones Broadway 440, East 141, East 2864, East 4343. Every Afternoon 15c Evenings 25c ( CLOSE D SUNDAYS ) JUDGING OF EXHIBITS IS TOO MUCH FOR WRITER Addison Bennett Says Products of Soil and Factories Vie With Each Other in Making Show Well Worth AYhile. Tne first British patent taken out by an American woman was dated November 25. 1715. to 6ybUia Masters for a process of treating corn. BY ADDISON BENNETT. DON'T call it the Land Show what ever you do, for there is not a bit of land on display. I was asked if I had been out to the Land Show and I answered no; then I went up Washington to Tenth and. followed the strings of electric lights out to the Armory, where the products of the land and the products of the factories Tie with each other in maKlng a show that is certainly worth while. It costs two bits to see it, but when you get all through you will feel like paying another two bits when you come out, for they show 'is certainly worth that much. One of the first things that attracted my attention was a bar. presided over by a real bartender. I approached with caution and, leaning my arms on the mahogany, I ran my eye over the list of drinks on sale. I finally decided I would take a mint julep. As the bar tender was formulating It I glanced at his diamond, which 'is of about 13 candlepower. Then I thought of X916 and wondered what the bartenders would be doing; so I asked him. He replied, "That is not the question that should Interest you; what the "ell are you going to do?" That meant me. As I sipped the julep (made of fruit juices and mints) I got to thinking of that burning question of 1916 and soon de cided that if bars like that were allowed to run I could worry along as well as the bartender. County Exhibits Vie. Then I wandered around to look over the county exhibits. There were dis plays made by Klamath, Crook, Lincoln, Washington, Clackamas, Umatilla, Mor row, Malheur. Clatsop, Polk, Clark (Washington), union, Wallowa ana Linn. At least I saw that many, al though the Crook County stun was just being put In place. After looking them over I thougnt I wouia sort ui juuBc them for the various prizes, i nnaiiy gave it up. thanking a kind providence for not being an official judge. Anyhow I found the Morrow County nnonie have au exhibit well worth while and the gentleman In charge, W. W. Smead, knows how to interest peo ple in the exhibtts, as he knew how to make the display attractive. Then I took a second and a third look at the Union County booth, and It is some dis play, for sure. They raise about every thing over in Union County, particular ly in the Grande Ronde Valley, and they have as fine samples of all sorts of farm products as you will find any where. "Wallowa, from the northeastern corner of the state, has a fine exhibit also and very attractively displayed. As to Polk, Linn. Clackamas, Wash ington and the valley counties In gen eral, one expects great things from them and realizes his expectations. So. UDon the whole. I am awfully glad somebody has to pick a winner besides yours truly. I have judged baby shows and got away alive, but no judging for me where there are zo exniDiiS ana only one first prize. Asylum Display Wonderful. Again, I might go back Cjii the coun ties altogether and give the blue ribbon and the emoluments it carries to Dr. R. E. Lee Steiner for the wonderful asylum exhibit. I spent a good deal of ttme looking over the 290 or 300 items going to make up- the display. and as I had been all over the farm I was greatly interetsed. particularly as I know the most of the work was done by those mentally deficient. I can tell you the people of Oregon have every reason to be proud of the asylum and Its management. A great deal might be said in a day or two about the Oregon Agricultural College display, and the exhibit from the branch experimental station in Sherman County, near Wasco. This is surely attractive to all and an eye-opener to all who know the con ditions in Sherman. But I have writ ten so much about the great results these stations are accomplishing that I had -better not go deeper into the subject now. Not a word about the exhibits of manufactures, save the bar! Well, It would take a week to go over the whole show and tell what might be told. My idea , is not to write an article of such tenor that the reader will think he knows enough without going out and seeing for himself. Every man, woman and child should go more than once before the show closes. Go first as a duty and you will go several times more for the pleasure you will derive. Oregon is an agricul tural country pure and simple. Our mines are all right, our timber is all right. But Oregon must grow great on the products of her soil if she grows great at all. And she surely will. Go out to the Armory and see if you don't come away saying that you never sa.w finer displays in your life. There are many things though be sides the agricultural exhibits and the bar. For instance, I heaved three balls into a bucket and came lspme with a duck, a fine live duck! Aftd there are numerous other attractions besides ducks there, peaches, for instance! KIDDIES RULE AT SHOW MANY STAGGER AWAY WITH PLIN DER AFTER DESCENT ON BOOTHS. Attendance Heavier Than Any of Previ ous eights 101 Bar" Contin ues in Popularity. ' Children of the public schools had their day at the Manufacturers' and Land Products Show yesterday. And they took advantage of the ad mission price of 10 cents offered and swarmed into the pavilion by hundreds to enjoy the various attractions and to gather up, as children ove to do, every conceivable kind of souvenir from the booths, from pamphlets on the effi ciency of the one-man stump puller to sample boxes of hard coal or briquets. By 6 o'clock one could see the little ones leaving the building, some of them fairly staggering under the load of plunder they had accumulated from good-natured demonstrators and booth tenders. The descent of the children upon the exhibits and upon the shows in the little theater were not all the features of the afternoon, however. At mid-afternoon Couch, Hawthorne and Clinton Kelly schools gave an ex hibition of games and drills in the main ballroom under the direction of Pro fessor Robert Krohn. Superintendent Alderman presided, and other officials of the school district were present as guests of honor. Professor Krohn brought McElroy's band in from the concert hall, for this band has played times Innumerable for the children's drills, and the little ones went through their evolutions to the tune of the official Land Products Show band, which went out again and finished its programme after the chil dren had been served. Professor Krohn was assisted by Misses Tramblay and Hawkins in put ting the 40 boys and girls from Couch School through a series of children's games. Four classes from Clinton Kelly, under Misses Johnson, Clou3, Howe and Burns, gave a dumb-bell drill, followed by three special song-game numbers. Their rendition of the old song-play. "Did You Ever See a Lassie?" under the leadership of Professor Krohn, was one or the lilts or the entire pro gramme. About 140 children partici pated from this school. Misses Gray and Hamilton had SO pupils from Hawthorne School in drill with Indian clubs, which concluded the programme in the ballroom. After this the children received full opportunity to enjoy themselves in the land show and manufacturers pavlliou as Deat suited them. The crowds yesterday afternoon -were larger than the heaviest evening crowaa or the preceding days, the at tendance being mostly or women and school children. F. B. Norman was the official bar booster for the day, but the business kept running through the afternoon without necessity for a great deal of boosting on the part of this official. tbe pennant will be awarded to the grade school.
